Horror of the Blood Monsters (1970)

weird patchwork film is interesting to lovers of the strange

[5/10 · 13 August 2008]

What do you get if you take a black and white Filipino caveman film and add new color scenes explaining that the caveman stuff is actually on a far off planet? You get this movie a wild and weird scifi film about vampires from space. Another patchwork job by Al Adamson for Sam Sherman, this film kind of works in its own twisted sort of a way. To be certain the new earth bound material of vampires here on earth doesn't really work, but the cavemen stuff which explains the source of the infection (okay I'm going out on a limb here) is interesting in a "so bad its good" meets "so weird its compelling" sort of way. I've actually gone back to see this film willingly several times over the years because its just so damn odd. I have no idea if thats a recommendation, hell I don't know if I even really like the film, but it is sort of a one of a kind movie. Worth a look for the truly adventurous.
